Not sure how I missed it, but thanks. Spoke with the wife as it is about exactly the setup we're interested in swapping out our 100 series for, but alas she is not willing to part ways with that much cash right now. Good luck with the sale. Seems like a solid setup and value, especially given...

I may have missed your location in all the text, but am guessing Denver based on the plates and backdrop.

Some thoughts and observations about your solar/electrical upgrades: I often find it easiest to discuss electrical for vehicles using plumbing as an analogy. Battery = tank or reservoir Wire/Cable = pipe size Voltage = water pressure First off, congratulations on selecting Victron and Blue...

Not done, but progress... Between Juno the stray and Eli the destroyer we've built up a little damage to the lower screen in the camper. I'll replace it, but what's the point without protection from further harm. $15 worth of aluminum grill screen on Amazon and very little work ended up with...

Two vehicles, semi-similarly equipped (from a form factor and wind resistance perspective). '22 ram diesel 3500 w/ 4WC Grandby (8' model), 2" thuren lift, 37s, 3.73, sitting around 12k averaging in the high 12 to low 14mpg, mid 11 when also flat towing a 100 series. '22 (I think) Ford 7.3L...

East of Big Pine, HWY 168 winds it way up a steep grade, then diverting North up White Mountain Road we climb to around 10k feet. We stopped at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Visitor Center. Since Eli is not up to snuff on shots at this point, he stayed in the camper while we did the short 1...

Memorial Day Week Trip - Eli goes camping for the first time. Most of our travels are where we work during the day, remotely tied in via Starlink. This trip was a full week off from work, actual vacation time. I do not bring my work stuff with me when on PTO, I mean what's the point you may...

Eli, code name Havoc enters the scene Upon return from our trip from Utah, we picked up Eli as he was weened and of age for a new home. We've owned multiple breeds, and this is the first time we stayed with the same breed on our next dog. I guess we're Aussie people. We actually had two...

Hurricane, UT Spent a week remote working while traveling to Gooseberry Mesa to do a bit of MTB and get away in mid-April. Just before the trip we ended up fostering this Australian Cattle Dog that washed up in the neighborhood as a stray. About 4 days until my wife could coax and catch her...

Next step adding stairs. Option A was to find some premade and pick them up in the Valley, but none were at the 10' height needed. They either under or over shot at 8' or 12'. Option B was to use a kit that consisted of steel support beams and wood steps/risers. It would have been in the $2k...

Warehouse Space It's been a while since posting, and a lot has gone on in the past 6 months or so. This past Winter was an average one, especially as compared to last Winter with over 200% snowfall. Having said that, it makes things difficult to work when dealing with snow and ice...

I did custom with Alcan too. Custom weight, lift height over factory, etc. They arched the springs for 2" of lift vs. factory without blocks. Going from a factory spring with 2" factory block to a custom spring 2 additional inches higher without blocks made a big improvement. Axle hop is...

The most accurate way is to ask the manufacturer, but the tire manufacturer not the vehicle manufacturer. Take the vehicle to a scale twice. Once when your normally daily driver mode, the second time when fully loaded. Contact the tire manufacturer and give them half the axle weights...

It may have been this one. I don't see my paperwork anywhere. TSB (03-003-23) is supposedly specific to the '22 3500, so not sure if there is carry over.

The C Chanel frame height on the Ram Cab/Chassis frames start out very tall at over a foot (about 300mm) then taper to the smaller size referenced (I think he said 190mm). They hold that until they terminate at the aft end. They are about 3" wide at the top and bottom of each channel (75mm)...

It sounds like you got the TSB taken care of for the front driveshaft, but not sure since you said "recalls". I took my '22 to the dealer in Northern Arizona for the grid relay recall. Had them look at the front drive shaft telling them the exact wording of the TSB. They called me later and...

Ram 3500 here SRW with a camper sitting at GVWR. E rated Falken AT/3W in 37 x 12.5/17. Your rear axle max rear weight according to the MFR is 6,800 lbs., so 3,200 lbs rating/tire is needed. Per their inflation chart 45psi gets you to 3,250. I like to run things a bit higher, so I am at 50psi...

By my understanding (I own a '22 3500 cab/chassis) the front suspension of the 2500/3500 is the same, the 4500/5500 use an older setup. 2500 is coil in the rear, 3500 and up are leafs. 3500 is SRW or DRW, 4500 and above are only DRW but you can do a super/single setup with them albeit with a...

A quick trip East of Phoenix to Roosevelt Reservoir for the first time. It rained the night before and earlier that day so there was a bit of light mud on a track that climbs away from the lake to the East towards the Arizona Trail (AZT). We found a nice spot to camp for the night, seeing only...

Another weekend in Sedona, this time hiking Hangover. It starts up Schnebly Hill road, often parking at the lot before it turns into a Jeep road. We got a late start so parking was full. That and it is a bit crowded in the lot in general. We opted to drive up the Jeep road and park at one of...
